| remarks on archaeological context | Plundered brick-lined burial pit (155 × 100 × 105 cm, NS orientation) covered with mud and rough stones. The oval pottery coffin was broken and the body had been removed. The northern end of the brick superstructure had been destroyed. A narrow enclosure wall led from the western side to the back wall of the neighboring mastaba. This area was paved with mud. The pavement and the western wall were covered with white stucco and then painted red. Six rough pots, 2 rough saucers, and 2 pieces of a flat dish rough outside and pebble-burnished inside were found. |
